Who Gets the Final Word

On Transfiguration Sunday, we conclude our Epiphany series Who Do You Say I Am? by turning to one of the most revealing moments in the Gospels—Jesus’ transfiguration on the mountain (Matthew 17:1–9). As Jesus’ glory is unveiled and every other voice fades away, God makes one thing unmistakably clear: “This is my Son… listen to Him.” This message invites us to confront the ways we subtly reshape Jesus to fit our assumptions, preferences, and experiences, and instead allow Him to reveal Himself as He truly is. Whether you’re exploring faith or have followed Jesus for years, this sermon offers clarity, hope, and an honest invitation to consider whose voice carries the final authority in your life.
